Next2Me WP7 release

Sorry guys for this long delay..

Finally, I released Next2Me for Windows Phone 7. You can get for free from the Marketplace.

The next version is already in work, with several more features.

Next2Me will be devided into a free and payed version. The free version will show a small ad at the top of the main window. The payed version won't show this. Also the payed version will received new features before the free one and some features will be in the payed version only. But the core element of Next2Me, the local search, will stay free.

But, If you'll buy Next2Me (I am planning to sell it for 99Cent), you will not just get rid of the ad and get some unique features, you will also support me and my dev projects ;).

If you have any questions or suggestions, don't hesitate to post them here ;)!

Have fun and a nice day!

suggestions

If you could make the voice an option for input and integrate with latitude (google) it worked on my 6.5 unit with my fiances iphone was really handy especially with her getting lost
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Nekronomekron:
I just had a look on the voice recognition, but I think I must disappoint you. There isn't an API for that at the moment and I don't want to rebuild a voice recognition myself. There are several solutions using web services, but this solution would be slow and doesn't work very well. Microsoft is already working on an own Siri called TellMe! I already registered myself for that API and as soon this is available on WP7 I'll implement this feature in Next2Me ;).

I used Next2Me on WM6.5 great app, going to give this a try ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gorelshv:
Hi, I'm considering buying this interesting tablet but before i do there are some things i need to be sure about:

1. How is the RTL support in the Flyer? I know it is not supported officialy in GB but is there a rom or a fix that can be applied to it?

2. How is the pen support? Is it fluid and intuitive as writing on a notebook? Can I use it for taking notes in class instead of my notebook?

3. Battery life. How good is it?

Thanks in advance,

Benny.

Google Talk with Video and Voice Chat officially works on our phones. After hours of chatting with the Atrix devs, and tons of learning throughout the process, we got it done!

You Must Be Rooted!! If you are not, Go buy an HD dock and see this page:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1199098

Anything in BOLD is to tell you what you are going to be doing.

Anything in RED needs to be typed in.

Preliminary Steps:

1. Root your phone using the above link.

2. Delete Talk.apk from your phone

use Root explorer to navigate to /system/app/

locate the Talk.apk file

click "mount as R/W" in upper right corner

long-press Talk.apk and press delete

After you are rooted and have deleted the Talk.apk:

1. Download the necessary lib file

http://www.multiupload.com/3O8RT5EAT5

1.5 Download the Google Talk apk that supports video chat

http://www.multiupload.com/TN67C757KH

2. Open up and ADB Shell as root

adb shell

su

(You should now have a # instead of a $)

3. Remount /system partition as RW instead of RO

/bin/mount -o remount,rw /system

exit

exit

4. Push libtalk_jni.so to /sdcard/

adb push libtalk_jni.so /sdcard/

5. Copy libtalk_jni.so to /system/lib

cp /sdcard/libtalk_jni.so /system/lib/

6. Exit adb shell

exit

exit

You should now be back in your Android SDK folder.

7. Push Talk2.apk to /sdcard/

adb push Talk2.apk /sdcard/

8. Use Root Explorer to install the Talk2.apk

9. After installing, reboot phone and you should be good to go!

Thanks to: Eval-, Crnkoj, and a few others in the Atrix forums for the help on getting this to work!

Now that we all have root access (if you haven't rooted your phone, go buy a dock!), I think it'd be great if the devs could possibly work on getting Google Talk to support the video protocol. After all, we are running 2.3.4 so our version supports it. Also, I remember downloading a modified apk for the Skype app on my E3D and it allowed for video chat... anyway that can be done for us?

Edit: 8/3/2011

I'm currently working on the Google Talk app to get a version which will support our FFC... My phone isn't available for testing because it's a work phone and I need some people (with rooted photon's) to put their babies up to the test. Anything you do can simply be undone with a factory reset... I promise;)

UPDATE: Got the Apk to install that supports native video chat, but I get FC when trying to use the Video feature. Anyone with any sense of programming further than basic stuff willing to help out?
[Motorola Photon 4G] VDub2174:
I was about to ask the same thing.

Also, where do I get a laptop dock so I can root? LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] ballerx43:
Not a laptop dock, it is the HD dock... go to the Sprint store closest to you and they should have them for $130 + tax. There's no restocking fee so you can return it:D
[Motorola Photon 4G] VDub2174:
That's what I meant.....lol I forgot what thread I posted that in :p

I'm gonna have to check that out, thanks :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] nezb:
I agree. I was very disappointed that I cannot talk to people using Google Voice & Video. Heck, I can't even voice chat! Only text.

I installed Fring which lets me do voice chat over Google Talk... but still no video.

What's the point of having a front-facing camera if there's barely any software that supports it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ballerx43:
So my photon isn't available for testing because it's turned into a work phone but I had a theory as to how to get working Gtalk on our phones!
[Motorola Photon 4G] nezb:
What is your theory? Perhaps someone else can try it out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] redhatter:
I picked mine up at a Sprint store for $99 + tax then I got the car dock at $59 so the gave me 10% off for the pair ....(Im SERO so only get the 10% off)

If your a sprint premier customer you can get 25% off for the pair ... ($99 + $59 = $158 - 25% = 118.50 + tax)
[Motorola Photon 4G] ballerx43:
Already decided to say screw it to work and take the risk with just using my own phone. Need some help with the programming though. All help is appreciated!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
Any thoughts on why the feature was disabled in the first place? I thought this was the purpose of the FFC -
[Motorola Photon 4G] ballerx43:
Well, got it working... instructions above
[Motorola Photon 4G] yungwunn911:
I'm waiting to receive my photon. However, I'm so confused to the process.

Is ADB Shell a program?

Also, are we typing the instructions before the "title" of each step?

thanks and sorry for the ignorance...
[Motorola Photon 4G] ballerx43:
I don't blame you, did a quick write-up before leaving for the day i'll try to edit it tonight to make it easier to understand.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tylerl:
Or just use the one they have on display at the store for a few minutes if you can find one.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
Worked great without using ADB, just moved both files to the locations in the instructions with ES Explorer in root mod.

Damn, that phone is getting better by the minute with all the developers' genius work. Thanks to all involved in making this device a true super phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ballerx43:
That could potentially work, I just wrote the steps in a way that it will work for anyone and everyone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ballerx43:
Mods, can we have this moved to the development section?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikeyinid:
Does "talk 1.3 installer" in the market not work? It does the exact same thing and its an app. Way easier.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ballerx43:
Not that I know of... I just did the write up because it's guaranteed to work
[Motorola Photon 4G] CyberCrist:
Great write up! I thought I'd also mention, for those that don't want to root their phones (are there really people like this?), you can use Qik for video chat.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sasidhar79:
Got it working, thank you. But there is huge static noise. Did anyone experience this ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mindcanal:
Yes. I also get a huge static noise. Renders it rather hard to use.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sparky_McBurning:
Works for video (had to reinstall once, the first time it only showed the back camera). The problem is now the person I'm calling doesn't hear any audio...

Sent from my MB855
[Motorola Photon 4G] mindcanal:
actally if they turn up the volume and you make a really loud noise they should be able to hear you over the static... still impossible to use though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sparky_McBurning:
They turned the volume all the way up and heard a whole bunch of static which goes away if I hit the button to mute my microphone.

Anyone had some progress on this or Skype? Are there any other apps for video conference (computer to MoPho)? I know Qik works on some devices, but I really need a solution for PC/Mac to MoPho.

Works perfect with headset, but not the phone speaker. try it out!!!:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] lilredzmd:
hell yes! Works like a charm!
[Motorola Photon 4G] slag02:
First off I would like to thank you guys for the work on this

second I am just truly curious if anyone knows what exactly is causing the static audio - and if there are any ideas to fix it

humbly yours

slag
[Motorola Photon 4G] eastrader:
Gee now I know why so many people love Apple, you can video chat device to device without doing any of this. Root this, delete that..etc. I know I am scarastic but so tired of not having commonality of low level system codex and drivers.. Think about this.. In the old west, you had a Colt or a Remington gun. But you could go to any town and by the right cartridge (low level software) and it would fire in either device.

My wife has a LG tablet, I have the Photon, we wanted to video chat, but no way.. LG says use Google Talk not Skype (not the same codex) My Photon can use QIK but not Google Talk..the tablet can't use QIK.. my point.. We own Android devices, both are on about the same release level.. but they are like Mars and Venus when it comes to having something compatable in using the camera's in either one.

Hey . I have been looking to do this for a while ... but .. when my buddy tries to make a video call to me , the Google Video app force closes , then opens back up
[Motorola Photon 4G] nezb:
I get the annoying static noise also.

Furthermore, it only works with the rear camera and not the front camera, so it's pretty much useless. :-/

I appreciate the efforts of the hackers though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Fird:
Front camera and mic problem

Strangely, I had the front camera pop up the first time I attempted a call. Call was not answered and I haven't ever seen the front camera since.. Now it just FC's or doesn't connect at all. Did have one successful video call on the back camera but with the static issue. Bluetooth seems to come up, but is earpiece only, the mic is still on the phone, I ~think~ that's because the bluetooth comes up in media or high quality mode which is stereo audio but w/o mic.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sparky_McBurning:
Had the same camera problem. Uninstalled and reinstalled from directions again and it let me use the front camera. Didn't fix the static through.

I'm not sure if anyone is even monitoring this post anymore, but I tried running this, I got to step #4 and I get "Permission denied". I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, can anyone help. I followed the steps regarding "ADB", (created a folder on my computer called "Android - sdk - windows" with all the files (and the files in the post). I open a command prompt and get up to step #4 fine. When I try to push the file to my SDCard, I just get a Permission Denied. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Motorola Photon 4G] saxyappy:
Anyone heard of any progress on this? I'd be happy if even Skype would work. The problem for me is I need to chat from my Photon to a Mac which seems impossible with the available alternatives (Fring, Tango, ooVoo). Is there anyway to video chat from the Photo to a Mac/PC?
[Motorola Photon 4G] schale01:
Successfully installed talk2.apk to /system/app/

and the library libtalk_jni.so to /system/lib/

Video works fine, both front and back cameras.

All I get for audio is very loud static on the other end of the chat. Muting myself will stop the static. I'm guessing that the apk or lib is incompatible with the Motorola hardware. Anyone have better success with audio working?
[Motorola Photon 4G] duongdn:
Has anyone tried vtok? I use it and it works fine in place of google talk.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ogmogul:
I've had pretty good luck with Google Talk so far, haven't tried the video route.. this a must-do now!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Just got my photon yesterday coming from a evo shift, and even though the shift isnt supported for skype video chat and it doesn't have a FFC it still works straight from the market. I assumed that it would work for the photon but I was wrong lol. But skype video calls work perfectly, can hear everything clearly and see everything clearly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BuddahWolf01:
Im very surprised neither skype nor stalk video work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] namansell:
Ok for 1 VTOK works AMAZING on my phone. I've video called with three different people and my camera looks great on their end! So thanks to you Duongdn.

The one thing I have noticed after I start vtok even when im not video calling the battery feels like its draining faster.

Description

Make free Skype-to-Skype video calls, and call phones at Skype rates on the move

Skype 2.5 for Android lets you make free voice and video Skype-to-Skype calls, and call phones and landlines at great Skype rates on the move.

Video calling now supported on more Android phones.

Features:

Free* Skype-to-Skype IM, calls and video calls over 3G or WiFi.

Cheap calls and SMS to landlines or mobiles at great Skype rates

Some notes:

If you're using Android 2.2 (Froyo) or greater on a device not listed in the What's New section, you should still be able to enable video calling in Skype settings. Please note that video call quality may not be as good as on a certified device.

On Android 2.2 (Froyo), only the back camera will work. This is because only devices running Android OS 2.3 or higher allow apps to access the front facing camera.

If the setting to enable video calling is not available in the Skype Settings on your device that means video calling is not yet supported on your phone.

--

* Data plan or WiFi connection required

You need Android v2.2 to run Skype on a Samsung Galaxy S

Please sign out of Skype to close the application.

With GroupMe you can start a group, add your friends, and we’ll give you a free phone number for it. It is the easiest way to start group conversations and it’s totally free. Visit: http://groupme.com/a?market

Truth is my skype app auto updated to the new video version on its own before I even read about in being supported on the Photon....ive been doing test video calls beween my laptop and phone and it works like a champ

also oovoo video calls are also working (but you must use the Bionic oovoo)... so two video chats work on the Photon now

i see mixed opinions for whether the evo 3d has the gorilla screen or not. i hate screen protectors. anyone?
[HTC EVO 3D] swanryan81:
I seriously doubt that the evo 3d uses gorilla glass. Had my 1st one for a day and seriously scratched the screen. My 2nd one was very severely gouged with light use. I hate screen protectors too but was forced to put one on my 3rd phone. I had a hd2 before the 3d and used it daily without a screen protector and the screen is still flawless. This makes me believe that the evo 3d doesn't have gorilla glass.
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Omg, this again?

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/htc

There is the proof that it does as well as all evos and most htc phones before it.
[HTC EVO 3D] swanryan81:
Yeah I've seen that already but I just don't understand how my two evo 3d phones got so scratched and my hd2 didn't with the same daily use. Doesn't add up.
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
This has been asked by multiple users, myself included... lol yes, it has Gorilla Glass. The camera glass is GG too.
